Knutico invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how handsome Knutico's roommate was. She had long been suspicious of Knuticos' sexual orientation and this only made her more curious.
Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Knutico and the roommate than met the eye.
Reading his mom's thoughts, Knutico volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Slash and I are just roommates."
About a week later, Slash came to Knutico and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?"
Knutico said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner."
Several days later, Knutico received a letter from his mother which read: "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Slash, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with Slash. But the fact remains that if he was sleeping in his own bed, he would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
